Well tolerated: The majority of people on pravatatin don't even know they're taking it. Occasionally there is generalized muscle aching which improves on a smaller dose.

If you think it's causing a side effect, the protocol is to stop it till the symptom resolves and then restart it to see if it returns.

None.: Green tea powder is a potent anti-oxidant and will not interfere with pravastatin or diltiazem.

Question 4

can i have 3 glasses of wine while taking pravastatin sodium 20 mg?

Accepted Answer

Caution: Excessive alcohol intake can potentially lead to liver dysfunction and/or damage. Pravastatin can potentially do the same. Taken together the risk increases. Alcohol consumption in moderation (couple of drinks a day) in individuals with no history of liver disease, while on statins, would be unlikely to cause a problem. Periodic monitoring of liver function should be done.

Accepted Answer

Neither: They're very similar in structure, efficacy, and safety/side effect profile.                                      But because they are slightly different, one may be better for you than the other.
Your doctor should be monitoring your progress on these meds.

Accepted Answer

Pravastin: There are multiple side effects including liver abnormalities and / or muscle aches or pains.  There should be a significant benefit for the medicine versus the risk of taking it.

Question 10

having  some side effect.from 10 mg pravachol (pravastatin). can i take it  just 3 times a week and still get the benefits. what is pravachol (pravastatin) half life. ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, But Weak Statin: Atherosclerosis begins in childhood &  cholesterol (a fat made by every one of our cells) is not the correct issue. However, lowering cholesterol production with statins (as a way to lower LDL particle concentrations) has lowered cv ds & mortality rates in all human trials to date. Pravachol is a weak statin, crestor, (rosuvastatin) in human trials, more effective & safer. Get NMR particle test & better options.
